My thought was that Ubuntu &c. are more "just works" than Debian, and that would be better for new users. I mentally classify Mint with the *Ubuntus. Ubuntu by default used to contain more proprietary, closed-source stuff which, sadly, results in more things (peripherals, wifi, graphics, etc.) just working. Is this no longer true?

It is still true but many other distros have them too now. I've found Linux Mint, which was originally based on Ubuntu, to be much nicer and upgrades are easier.

I'm not a fan of Ubuntu creating their SNAP store which seems like a play to get a monopoly on Linux.
